Canada Defeats United States, 1-0, in Men’s Hockey Semifinal
Canada defeated the United States, 1-0, in the semifinals of the men’s hockey tournament to advance to the gold medal game.
In a rematch of the 2010 gold medal game, Canada dominated play for much of the game, going ahead on a goal by the Dallas Stars’ Jamie Benn early in the second period.
American goalie Jonathan Quick kept his team in the game, withstanding an near-constant Canadian barrage to make 37 saves. But the United States, which had been the highest-scoring team in the tournament, could not get the equalizer.
Canada will play Sweden in the gold medal game Sunday. Canada and Sweden have won the past three of the four gold medals in men’s hockey since N.H.L. players became part of the tournament in 1998, Canada in 2002 and 2010 and Sweden in 2006.
